Hey shristi 05, I had a similar situation. The immigration officer put a wrong stamp on my I-94. Instead of 2002, he stamped it 2001. So i had to go thourgh hell to get my social security. I went to SS office and they couldnt see my name in the file. They asked me to wait until the immigration office sends my file to SS. Now and then i would go to SS office to see if they received my file. I had to wait more than an hour just to check that!! Finally they told me to go to Immigration office. I went to Baltimore, waited 4 hours just to hear the shit that SS office has to send a form to Immigration office. I went to SS office again, they said they will do that and it might take upto a month. After a month i go to SS again, they show me the reply by the immigration office asking me to contact Immigration office directly. Motherf***ers, i waited 4 hours at your office a month ago and now you are asking me to contact you directly!!! Oh god!! again i waited 4-5 hours at Immigration office in Baltimore and they asked me to go to the airport. I went to Washington Dulles International Airport, where i came from. There, the police officer asks me if i can bring my airline ticket!! What the f**k Do u think i'm gonnna have that ticket after a year!!! Thank god i remembered which flight and which date i landed in that airport! phewwwww. I had to fill out that I-94 document again, and when i went to SS office after a month everything was ok. Thats how i was welcomed in America. Shristi, try contacting the immigration office in the airport. They might be able to help you. Good luck.
